  • SprinklezNeon NeonSprinklez (@SprinklezNeon) reported

    The Overwatch 2 server issues today feel like straight ground hog day. I really had hope that it would be at least a little bit better.

    It’s actually not possible to login to Overwatch

  • CalledAbbe ImCalledAbbe (@CalledAbbe) reported

    @BlizzardCS In overwatch, if you get a server error and gets kicked from the game, do you still get a loss in comp?

  • jlagrange87 Joshua Lagrange (@jlagrange87) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 has much bigger problems than the servers. Gutted UI, janky audio, lack of visual queues for damage and heals, the response and time between abilities is different, no progression, no comp rank to show off to other people, etc. It feels and plays wrong.

  • thornadorned Kore ☁️ (@thornadorned) reported

    Love that as both an Overwatch player and someone with a Cricket phone plan, I’m apparently not going to be able to play Overwatch 2 because of my phone service provider. Can we please fix this @BlizzardCS ?

  • ah_habs SchnappschildkröteEx (@ah_habs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please fix your game , it is bs , put in a second tank , slow the pace let my team mates join in before you start the game . Oh and also add the level system and rename the game to Overwatch cause its the same sh/t

    @DuxSins @Blizzard_Ent this is a bigger issue than the queued honestly, people can wait, but us that played overwatch 1 now we log in and none of our stuff is there, they needa make an update

  • Bexas6 Becki Piper (@Bexas6) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I know you're already having many problems. I finally was able to load into Overwatch, but I had bought the Watchpoint pack and it's not showing up for me? I should have the premium battle pass, but I don't. I just want to enjoy this game I've loved since 2016.

  • ReveL_XIV ReveL  (@ReveL_XIV) reported

  • kiyonoodle 𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐲 🍓🧸💌 (@kiyonoodle) reported

    also why have i not got all heroes unlocked if i played overwatch 1 ??? is there a way to fix it?

  • Kronos11262 Kronos11262 (@Kronos11262) reported

    Why doesn't the Overwatch 2 devs just pair servers by region temporarily. Yes it may alienate some players but they can fix the server issue while we all have fun playing. Then put it back the way it was

  • AliceTsukii AliceTsuki (@AliceTsukii) reported

    I got trough the overwatch 2 que just to be greeted with a unexpected error lmao.

  • HarisKrajina Haris Krajina (@HarisKrajina) reported

    @aaronkellerOW "DDoS" attacks are your users trying to log in. I'll be honest in my thinking, either a) you did not prepare b) it is DDoS attack that somehow starts at 18:00 CET I think the Overwatch team is the last one to blame here, the corporate mess there seems tangible.

  • Dribzz Dribzz (@Dribzz) reported

    @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCSEU_EN There's also an issue where you can't invite friends to your group. The error says something along the lines of "this person is playing a different version of overwatch". Fingers crossed this will all be sorted soon!

  • purenoiserecs Pure Noise Records (@purenoiserecs) reported

    Who actually made it through the Overwatch 2 queue & server issues and played a few games???

  • realmagicstu MagicStu (@realmagicstu) reported

    @Qwik Biased towards bigger streamers who have no issues logging in. This shouldn’t of been f2p, should’ve been paid version like normal overwatch 1 was.

  • TheAndyCortez Andy Cortez (@TheAndyCortez) reported

    @mattSbatson Daaaaaaaaan... After a rough launch day Cross progression problems And two DDoS attacks OVERWATCH IS BACK.

  • LivingTommy Tommy the living shitpost (@LivingTommy) reported

    So I just bought the new OverWatch game the other day and I was excited to play it because it needed to be an update but the thing is it's not working so I spent $40 for nothing @BlizzardCS
